Is a prostate puncture biopsy painful?

  The prostate is an organ unique to men, and plays an important role in male urination, sexual function and fertility. The most important thing that you can do is to have a biopsy of the prostate gland when you suspect prostate cancer.  The most common methods of prostate puncture are through the perineum and through the rectum, which requires local or general anesthesia for the perineum before the puncture is done. Prostate puncture usually requires multiple punctures to increase the detection rate of prostate cancer. Prostate puncture treatment may be complicated by prostate inflammation, hematuria, and bloody stools. You need to take care to drink more water, urinate more often, and use antimicrobial treatment to prevent infection after the puncture procedure. The actual fact is that you will be able to recover from the discomfort caused by the puncture in 1 to 3 days.
